hi and thanks I was thinking about a new bar as this one is kinda short too. also any ideas on some quick change gear levers instead of the thumb twist ones ??. or if someone else is selling them on here ?? or for that matter is any one selling a straight bar ??

I'm not to bothered about the parts being original aslong as they work and work well. i will be using this one as mainly a road bike.
thanks again

I've got an M-TRAX 2000L which I've had from new. It's a hand made frame using the (Renolds) Optima tubing and it's a really bloody stiff.

I put some Manitou Spider R's on more than ten years ago now which I bought from a mate for £25. They're OK but well past their best and could do with changing for something more, dare I say it....modern.

Any ideas on something appropriate anyone?

As for your seized and rounded seat post pinch bolt; take it to your local bike shop and ask them to drill it out for you, or have a go yourself?

Hi - occasional lurker but now in need of a bit of advice.
I've been a fan of Raleigh Ti frames for ages, and now on my second road ride (unpolished ti frame - 27mm seatpin - 1" steerer tube with ovalised downtube...brought NOS out of Cycling Weekly about 6 years, for £150). I've now decided to get back into mountain biking and picked what I think is the Torus, with the rear canti hanger...with the unpolished finish. The only trouble is, I'm struggling to work out what seatpin it should take. It does have a plastic shim fitted, which seems to take a 27.2 fine, but when tightened, it is still slipping - I am guessing the shim has perished over time. If anyone knows the correct tube diameter so I can get a replacement, I would be very grateful.[/img]
